Moore and Wright Precision Measuring Features and Benefits

• Hardened steel construction: resists wear and keeps measuring faces and edges true through regular workshop use.
• Clear graduations: finely marked scales make readings quicker and reduce the risk of errors on critical dimensions.
• Metric and imperial options: suits both modern metric drawings and older imperial work, so you can match the job in front of you.
• Smooth, controlled adjustment: helps you set and hold a measurement without slip, whether you are checking a shaft or scribing a line.
• Protective storage: many precision instruments are supplied cased, keeping them clean and undamaged between jobs.

Micrometers and Vernier Callipers

Micrometers suit fine measurements of diameters and thicknesses, while vernier callipers measure internal, external and depth dimensions with one tool. Both are ideal for inspection and machining work.

Combination Sets and Engineers Squares

Combination sets handle squaring, angles, depth and height checks. Engineers squares are the standard choice for checking that workpieces and machine set-ups are true.

Feeler Gauges and Strips

Used for checking gaps and clearances, such as tappet settings, machine alignment and fitting tolerances.

Dividers and Spring Callipers

Dividers are used for scribing arcs and stepping off distances when marking out. Spring callipers transfer inside or outside dimensions for comparison against a rule or another measuring tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a micrometer or vernier callipers?

Vernier callipers are versatile and quick for general measuring, covering internal, external and depth readings. A micrometer is better when you need higher accuracy on a specific dimension, such as a turned diameter. Many workshops keep both.

How do I keep precision measuring tools accurate?

Wipe them clean after use, apply a light coat of oil to bare steel surfaces and store them in their case away from swarf and knocks. Avoid dropping them or over-tightening, and check them against a known standard regularly.
